(Added note about effects of predestined hobby, skills, and personality.)
Line 1:
'''Enthusiasm''' indicates the level of interest a [[Sim]] has in a particular [[hobbies|hobby]]. By interacting with objects associated with hobbies, a Sim can increase their enthusiasm and unlock new [[interactions]]. Sims will occasionally dream about their hobbies, and these dreams will raise enthusiasm by a small amount. Enthusiasm will gradually decline over time, so Sims will need to perform hobby-related activities to maintain their enthusiasm levels.
 
All Sims have a predestined hobby, and it will be easier for them to gain and maintain enthusiasm in this hobby. All hobbies except [[Film and Literature]] are linked to a [[skill]], and having a higher level in that skill will make it easier for a Sim to gain and maintain enthusiasm in the associated hobby. All hobbies are linked to a couple of the [[Personality#Qualities|personality]] scales. Depending on the hobby, having a low or high score on the appropriate scale will make it easier for a Sim to gain and maintain enthusiasm in the hobby.
 
Sims that are really enthusiastic about a hobby can get "in the zone". When their enthusiasm has reached the maximum level and they are performing an interaction related to that hobby, they will forget about everything around them. Sims "In the Zone" have a glow surrounding them, and if their hobby is [[Music and Dance]] they'll hear an audience clapping. The first time a Sim reaches maximum enthusiasm in a hobby, he or she will receive [[Aspiration bar#Lifetime Aspiration|Lifetime Aspiration]] points. Sims may also have a major [[Wants and Fears|want]] to reach maximum enthusiasm in a hobby.
